A Glen Burnie woman was robbed of $13 Saturday by a gunman who was hiding beneath a stairwell in her apartment building, county police said.

Betty M. Kemp, 49, told police she was walking to her building around 9: 30 p.m. when a man with a handgun emerged from behind a stairwell and pointed the weapon at her.

The man demanded money, and after Ms. Kemp gave him $13, he ran though the complex, police said.
